DC Supplies Buffalo area

[Jerome Sidley]

Being just the other side of the border it is easy for me to get across for supplies. What i need is flex hose, gates etc for my dust collection All I can find around here easily is 4" I'll need 5" and 6" any help would be appreciated. I would rather not mail order.
Thanks

I am in Buffalo as well, I could not find a source. I ended up buying 6" spiral pipe fittings thru Oneida and ordered some flex hose from Grizzly.

I mention this because you may or may not be near a Lee Valley storefront north of the border. :)

Lots of supplies at the local HVAC supply store in Hamilton... 7", 6", 5"... Lots of stuff, as stated, at Lee Valley in Burlington too... I think St. Catharine's has a lee valley too..

This is a supplier I've been considering doing business with: Air Handling Systems (https://airhand.com/). I'm still looking around locally to see if there are equal and less expensive options for spiral pipe and fittings but Air Handling Systems has a very complete line of dust collection pipe and fittings that you can order online. I just took delivery on a Grizzly G0442 5HP Cyclone so as soon as I get an out-building constructed and the cyclone installed I'll be purchasing the duct-work to complete the system.

KenCraft is also good. But if the OP is above the border, they may need to have a friend south of the border to work with some of these vendors because of how shipping/duty works heading north.

Wow, there is a Lee Valley in Niagara Falls, CA. Never even thought about checking them out. Thanks!

Lee Valley caring the larger sizes must be new, I checked last year and they only had 2.5 and 4".

I've purchased 4", 5" and 6" from them, but I honestly don't recall the "when" at this point. At any rate, the gates I got from them are decent and as always, they are a nice company to do business with on both sides of the border! Hose I've been buying from Amazon. PowerTec brand.

I bought 6" blast gates from them about 4 or 5 years ago. So they've had them that long at least... They are high quality, and Lee Valley is great to deal with. Good company to support.
